CES opens on Jan. 8, 2018. Which Powershot cameras do you think or want Canon to introduce at the show? Listed are three of the oldest cameras in the lineup, but add any comments below the poll.

Will not be surprised, and hoping for, G7XM3.

This.

I also want that new G7X.  And I hope it's a G1XM3 with the viewfinder sliced off.  Gordon Laing has a short vlogging test on YouTube using the G1XM3.  The camera acquitted itself nicely.  The older G7X's seem to be very popular with vloggers.  If Canon could somehow get in the forefront and put a mic input on the new G7X, it would break new ground.  Lots of vloggers are getting good video, but they need a simple way for better sound.  That mic input would allow mics to be hung around necks or attached to shirts, protected from wind and extraneous noises around the camera.  Course that G1XM3 with the VF chopped off might run $1,000, but then again, that's what Sony is getting for the RX100 V.  I realize photographers want that VF, but I feel that all the videographers who want their stuff on YouTube are a growing breed - they don't have to have that VF.  They want something light and easy to hold.  Photographers, other than the billions with their phones, who want something that feels better than their phone and has the capability for more than their phone, do not seem to be growing by leaps and bounds - likely just the opposite.  I'm hoping Canon gets more into video, and gives Sony a run for the money in the small camera territory.  And lastly, I want 4K in that G7XM3, although that surely is asking for too much     john
